One of those accusations, albeit said in jest, was caught on tape back in 2012, when Katie Couric, who co-anchored the Today show with Lauer from 1991 to 2006, said during an interview that Lauer would routinely touch her.

As we highlighted earlier, while Lauer was suspected of being one of the key figures in leaking the infamous Hollywood Access tape which was used to demonize Donald Trump as an abuser of women, he was simultaneously abusing women himself, according to the allegations.
